What yous need to make a poke cake

Box of cake mix – Or you can make one from scratch simply that'south non happening in my business firm. Let'due south but get with the basic yellow or white block mix shall we.
Broad straws, Use the end of a spoon or if you have a cupcake injector you can use that. You just need something to poke holes in the cake and so the filling will seep in.
Filling – A can of sweetened condensed milk is typically used. You tin can employ jar of caramel sauce, warmed jar of raspberry jam, vanilla pudding, ganache, the list goes on and on. These work great if you don't want to make your own filling.
- Basically you want something sweet and warm that will ooze into the holes.
Topping – Cool Whip is typically used for a lite fluffy topping but you can whip up some frosting yourself or use a tub of whipped frosting
Pretties – Anything and everything you'd like to "decorate" your cake or give it a unique flavour
Ideally a fridge – Y'all'll want to refrigerate it after adding your filling, then again after you add your topping(south). No need to cover the cake while chilling.
Pan – 13×ix baking dish is needed

How do you poke a cake?

You can see where the holes were made and "injected" with ganache for this poke cake recipe. You could too poke holes with a large straw to pour the warm filling inside if yours is more liquidy. When spots get all the way down to the bottom of the pan you tin can simply pour your sauce on top so information technology seeps into the holes. Either way works.
